2023 Combine Preview – Defense

I want to help you soon up on his band away waddle, waddle to a shotgut back to the throw looking stups up fires touchdock again, it's waddle, It's six touchdown padoun of this t Drivetime with Travis Wingfield begins. Now let check your pulse if not far of what is up? Dolphans And welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host,

Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, it's the last episode of Combine Reviews. We're gonna do the entire defense top one hundred on this episode. Buckle in. We have a lot to get to. Let's go ahead and start right now from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drivetime podcast we did the entire offense last week, and by the time you hear this will probably be in Indianapolis working on lots of

content for y'all. This week, We've got a couple of big fish come on the podcast that include NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah. So keep it locked right here for plenty of combine coverage boots on the ground in Indianapolis. But before the workouts begin, before we hear from coach, before we talk with the players and many members of the media, MANI members, let's take a look at the main thing,

the players. We pivot now to the defense, which I've been pouring over tape over the last couple of weeks and trying to catch up, as I seem to be doing every time this year or every year. At this time, I should say, it's been flipped the schedule this year. Defense front of the line for on field workouts, which means defense first. For media availabilities, which means I will only have a chance to talk to defensive players because

our trip is Tuesday through Thursday in Indianapolis. But go back to the Wednesday episode for running backs and tight ends. The Friday episode we covered offensive line and wide receivers and quarterbacks, and we'll go ahead and do defense rate now. And if you're a fan of the podcast every day listener, you know the drill. We go through the top one hundred prospects on Pro Football Focus and preview, how I think they'll perform in Indianapolis, and how that could help

their draft stock. Let's go ahead and start. We always go front to back, and maybe that's a little more indicative of how this defense will be built heading forward because in the past it was always built back to front.

But at the same time, Miami's pretty well stocked up front, so we're going to go through these positions a little bit quicker than we do the defensive Once we start on the interior defensive line, and there are several guys here that, let's be honest, we don't have to go too deep into their game because there's no possibility they'll be there when Miami picks at fifty two and they're not trading up for a defensive tackle. So Jalen Carter, if there is no trade for a quarterback, will be

the first player drafted. Just an absolute monster, going to have a huge combine. Probably it's hop overall player consensus. That's not a quarterback. He's not mine, but he's still the top three for me. Brian Breese from Clemson, same deal. He kind of reminds me of Seeler. Absolutely absurd length, power and get off, and he could solidify a top ten selection with a big week, which he is fully, fully capable of. Siaki Eka from Baylor. This is a player in the group that has the best chance to

shoot up the boards in my opinion. The way he moves pops off the tape. They had a guy there a couple of years ago, Bravey on Roy, who went in the fifth round. Similar style, but this guy Eka is three hundred and fifty pounds. He's encroaching on that unicorn territory. Kalijah Canty from Pittsburgh didn't watch a lot of pit this year. That's something about pitt games in the AC just not my favorite conference. I know he's a Miami product. He comes off the ball hot and

stays that way through the end of the snap. I always like a baseline with a great motor because if he compare that with good testing, he could be a fringe first round draft pick. Mazie Smith from Michigan I really like his game. I'm partial to the seeler types talks about that earlier, big rare length and enough quickness to also one gap can hold a point in two

gap defenses as well. To me, that's Smith. He's two hundred and ninety pound player who can kick out to the five technique so very strong, which at two ninety you probably know that he's not got the same get off as some of the guys ahead of him on this board, but he can hone that and show a good ten split time. I think that would really move him up from this forty fifth ranking number sixty five

Carl Brooks at Bowling Green. It's might sound repetitive, but he's got a chance to shoot up the boards as well because he has such a polished arsenal of moves. That's one of the benefits of going to a school like you know that's not a power school, power five school or whatever. You can get a lot of reps in and you can see that in Carl Brooks's tape heavy handed his hell and that's a great starting point

for a player. If he can show some flexibility and pop and his movement testing, he'll be drafted very highly. Morow Ojomo from Texas starting to get into that range where I think interior defensive line comes into play from Miami, who has the fifty second pick. This is a very deep position for the Dolphins currently though so maybe not. I don't think Ojomo will blow the doors off the combine. He won frequently again with length, effort and quick reads

against the running game. Number seventy two overall on PFF's top one hundred. As a player I like a lot. Keanu Benton from Wisconsin dominant week at the Senior Bowl, and that's where you saw his game translate to what should be a really good combine for him because he plays with exceptional pad level under guys and got significant knockback all week long, and that translates to me to really good times on the ten split, the maybe even the forty, but also the broad and vertical jumps. Number

seventy three. The very next player on their list is Gerson Newton from Illinois. I've only watched Illinois because they have an absolute stud at safety we'll talk about here in a second, but just perusing the Draft Network, they expect him to have a big time workout. He plays with speed and quickness at just two hundred and ninety five pounds on the interior. If you're gonna play that light inside, you'd better be able to scoot. Number eighty

two KeAndre Coburn from Texas. Always nice when you can watch two players on one tape next to each other. I probably preferred Coburn's tape to Ojomo's for the projection of his game to the next level. We'll see how he tests an indie. Number eighth. Jacqueline Roy from LSU I love this dude's game. I think the combine will greatly improve the draft standing from eighty nine upwards. He's going to blow the doors off indie, twitchy, explosive, get off,

lateral agility. I expect his RAS scorecard to be covered in green, which is the upper echelon of every percentile. Ninety four. Gervon Dexter from Florida played a lot of zero technique at Florida, and he has a very unique build for it. He's not your events will fork like

your squatting body. He's kind of high cut, like you would see at a defensive end, but he can really play low with all that power that he generates from that bass, and I think you're gonna see him near the top of the board in the vertical jump among all interior defensive lineman. We go back to the acc and wake force for Kobe Turner, number ninety eight. I didn't watch a lot of wake this year. I certainly haven't watched any tape, but I did see some clips

of him working around blocks in the running game. And he has a super super quick first step, so the shuttle ten split three cone. Keep an eye on that for him. And if you're bored right now, because these names are not doing it for you, I'm just gonna go by each position here. I promise it gets a little bit more intriguing as we go along, because I think as you get deeper into the Dolphins defense, that's where you start seeing some needs and some potential to

add some pieces there. But tons of names here, and I think this is one of the more interesting position groups to look at this offseason for Miami because I think you can argue that the defensive line is the best position group on the Dolphins roster. Seeler only has one more year left on his deal, though, and he's going to get a pay raise. He's played really well, especially in comparison to that contract. Wilkins currently on that fifth year option, though Chris Greer did mention their desire

to get a long term deal done. Ray Kwon's rookie deal coming up, and I think you got to get just better overall nose tackle play than you had in twenty twenty two because John Jenkins is also a free agent. So there's a possibility that I think for a big nose tackle edition. We've traditionally seen big, dominant nose tackles make this defense go. So if you can feel really good about those three guys up front and create even more one on one situations outside, that would be a

big boon. So I'm not sure these guys check that box. I think it might be more of a free agent. I think a Keem Hicks makes a ton of sense if he wants to keep playing. He loves Vic Fangio two, so I'm curious see what happens there. But it's always nice to be in a position where you can draft players to develop them for the future so that when

contracts expire, you have that word. We talk about a lot on this podcast, and Chris were talks about a lot with the work Brandon Shore does flexibility right about how you can change gears or go in the same direction. Like, yeah, we have this Plan A to bring back player A, B and C, but maybe player B got a better contract somewhere else or wants to go get more playing time somewhere else. All right, we can pivot and move to be and now we have a new Plan C

in place of that. If that wasn't too confusing here on the podcast. But with that said, it wouldn't surprise me to see Miami pass entirely on this position or draft a player relatively high. But that's the type of flexibility you want to have throughout your entire roster. Speaking of positions that are set up well for the immediate and long term future, the edges, defensive ends, and outside linebackers. Let's go ahead and go through this group quickly after

these words. That's next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by AutoNation. Picking things back up here in segment number two. Staying up front at the edge position number four on the PFF big board is Will Anderson from Alabama. He's gonna ace the test. He's probably the best player in the draft. He's my personal number one, which means he's way out of our range. Number six overalls.

Miles Murphy from Clemson another top five pick, and frankly, you don't have this high rank at the position if you're not built in a lab. He will test extremely well, then you get some drop off, and this is kind of an interesting place every year to me, in the draft of those teens and those twenties into the end

of the first round. Lucas van Ness from Iowa. Watching a player like him, you can usually assume he was a two sport athlete growing up because there's typically this effortless ability to move and bend among these guys, so it's no surprise that he was a hockey player. And I think that's where his great ankle flection comes from. He's really flexible and can really kind of use power and bend together because of that lower half, and it's where his strength and ability to plant the tree trunk

against the run really show up. If he tests well with his power the flashes on tape that he has at six foot five, two seventy, he probably sneaks into the top ten. Number twenty two overall. Nolan Smith from Georgia to me, this is too low for him. He's going to have a monster combine if he competes. He was injured late last year, and I don't know if he will or not, but he's a freaky, freaky athlete.

Number thirty two overall LA two Lato from UCLA. His ability to condense inside and beat guards with quick on rushdowns is very, very intriguing to me. He gave both Washington schools all they could handle. That translates to a good three cone, which plays well in a system that has lots of rush games. That's what we used to do. It's not I don't know if we'll do as much of it this year, but intriguing player and an all day first rounder to me. Number thirty four b j

Ogilargijilari from LSU. I think he too was a first rounder. This group has tons of juice. Man Ojilari has tremendous bend and balance around the edge. I think you'll see that edge leaderboard just littered with his name near the top of every testing category. Those LSU guys. I talk about this all the time. LSU Clemson, Alabama, Georgia. Those guys are gonna test well because they recruit five stars after five stars after five stars. Number thirty five Andrew

Carter the second. Speaking of five stars, he wasn't that and he went to Army, but my goodness, he is a flash. Someone's gonna draft this guy on day two and wash him develop into a refined rusher and from there the sky is the limit. The Conbine was built for a guy like him to absolutely shop, speed, jumps, short, area burst. He's gonna do very well in all of those. Number thirty seven Will McDonald from from Iowa State arguably my biggest mover from Senior Bowl week. Had great tape

all week long. Again repetitive, but I think that his times could, you know, beat even the previous two guys because he plays at a smaller size. He's long, lean, and explosive as hell. Kind of has a Jalen Phillips build to him. Not quite as heavy, but that long, lead and explosive build like Phillips has. Number fifty is Mike Morris from Michigan. Another one of these power edges at Michigan. More of a play through guys who can

condense inside type of player. I don't think he'll blow you away in shorts, but his power pops off the screen on game tape. Again. We'll talk about this here in a second, but I just don't know if this is a position where the Dolphins have to attack very heavily. Keyon White Number fifty six Georgia Tech. Unfamiliar with his game, but the Draft Network describes him as a first off the bus type of athlete, freakish athletic ability. Again, this

edge group is going to test very very well. Number fifty eight Felix and d and a Duke Usama from Kansas State. The names get tough for every single year. Another player I have not watched yet, but I did read it his first step as his best traits, so keep an eye on his ten split. Number sixty one Isaiah McGuire from Missouri combines physical traits with a really fun demeanor. He's just kind of a badass. He's flexible around the outside and has a quick move to cross

face inside. I think he'll time well on the speed metrics from USC. Number sixty three Tuley Tupelotto, again the Polynesian names man. They are tough at six foot four to eighty His game is more power in playing the run on the way to the quarterback so don't expect crazy times here, but his tape is really good. Number sixty four is Zach Harrison from Ohio State talked about it earlier. Earlier, you can presume with these schools you're gonna get a great athlete, and that's the case here.

Five star recruit, lots of traits, size, Lenk, explosiveness. He stands a chance to shoot way up the boards this week in Indianapolis. Another one of those schools, Auburn Derek Hall, number sixty nine. His length is the first thing that's hands out, so they'll like him on the tape measure. He utilizes that length through strong upper body movement and

heavy hands. Just didn't have a lot of pass rush reps to show the repertoire, so he's gonna have to work out well to kind of help boost his stock. Number seventy five, Okay, I have this one written down. Audi Yap Tom Yuwa Otto Barya not even close Northwestern. He's kind of an unconventional player. The tape isn't great. Unconventional build, but man, he has some really good physical traits in terms of how he moves. I'm curious see how he tested the three cone because he is a

jitterbug up on that defensive line. Number eighty five Isaiah Fosky from Notre Dame kind of the opposite of that really great tape has tons of testimonials from his coaches and teammates about his character and leadership that he possesses. So if he times well, because the athletic traits aren't really what it is for some other guys, if he has a really good combine after a good Senior Bowl, he can keep going up that draft board. And then

number ninety three Byron Young from Tennessee. I think there's tons of upside there and we could see the first steps of unlocking that with a good workout in Indy. He's a former JUCO transfer who just got better every single year. You can see the physical skills and with more seasoning can play even faster. Another deep group here, but again with Phillips chub Is Ogba back this year, not to mention a wait and see what happens with

Melvin Ingram and Andrew van Ginkel. It's probably Miami's deepest position at the time being. You can never have too many rushers, though, and if you don't resign either Melvin or Gink maybe you do look at this group on day two, and that's why mock drafts prior to free agency and probably after two are mostly useless. But I tend to kind of pass on both of those groups. With the first three picks the Dolphins have in the first three rounds. Now, these next three position groups different story.

Linebacker Number twenty nine Trenton Simpson from Clemson. Simpson can probably step into an NFL defense from day one as a sub package type of player and be super impactful. He's very versatile. He's an explosive striker who puts himself in those positions with both prep but also athletic traits. He's gonna jump out of the gym when they work out this week. Number forty one Drew Sanders from Arkansas.

The best part about Sanders game is that he's kind of new to the off ball linebacker position, a former edge and you see that in his athletic profile bend, quick twitch from the new position. But man, he was so good in processing in block deconstruction, which for a guy that hasn't played that role to excel that quickly. It speaks to the way he goes about his business. High, high ceiling, player who I think is going to test

very well, and I'm curious about him. If he can get down to fifty two, might be an option there. Number fifty one. Jack Campbell also probably an option there from Iowa. He kind of reminds me of Jack Sandborn, a little bit, a try hard who's just damn good at football. I think you saw the athleticism tests a little bit when Iowa played some of the powerhouses in their conference, you know, the Penn States, the Ohio States.

So the combine isn't an event that will suit his skills, but he can play Number sixty seven die On Henley Washington State. Gokug baby. This is my preference at this stage of the draft. I fully expect him to destroy the workouts. He's twitchy, he plays angry, has exceptional range, going in all three directions downhill, backwards or sideline. The sideline. I'd put him as one of the favorites to top

the forty ten split shuttle and three cone times. He's an ex safety who's a little on the lighter side, so he needs to have good times. But he is such a good player. I've watched him as much as anybody else in this class. Because I watch all their games. Man he is he is a hell of a football player. Number seventy nine demarvi an Over shown from Texas, another safety convert, fifth year senior. He's gonna have to test well because he's a two hundred and twenty five pound linebacker,

but that shouldn't be the problem. But he also hits like a safety two, so he's got a fun tape. But he's a bit of a tweener. Number ninety two a bit of a drop off here to Noah Sewel from Oregon. I love his game, man. He might be more of a B gap to B gap plotter than you want, but damn he is good at it. Great size, the ability to play stacked backer from the jump, Like right away, you can draft him and probably have him play, you know, thirty five percent of your snaps in those

based downs. He's played all over that organ defense. Is a true captain of it. And that's why I think he'll blow teams away on the board in terms of the meeting stuff. As far as the on field testing, I'm not sure that's where his best traits are shown. And the number ninety seven Nick Herbig from Wisconsin, the brother of Nate Herbig, the offensive limon for the Jets.

I wonder where his best position is going to be in the NFL, But man, he was productive, a little bit undersized at two thirty, but he's got more pass rush pelts at most or than most at this position group eighteen sacks in two years. You could see him being inserted in some sub package like pressure packages early on. How he times and the three cone, the shuttle and ten split will all be worth watching. And then really quick a quick shout out to Henry to to to

the Alabama linebacker. He belongs in the top one hundred for my money, could be a Day three suboption or sub package option straight away with room for growth into an every down player. I think he'll test well as well. Another group of Miami has plenty of their own free agents, and it's tough to project needs ahead of seeing what happens in free agency with Roberts, samuelgl Vaughan, and Duke Riley all free agents. Anytime you change the system, there

can be changes. There are some really really good players in this group and this is a position that tends to slide a little bit, so we'll see what happens with those guys, the free agents, and then also the development of Channing Tindall. That's a big, big part of this equation as well. Do you like him for year two or do you have to get better? But I like this crop and as always I subscribe to the draft good players routine and the rest will take care

of itself. Let's go ahead and take our second break right here and come back and do the DBS. That's next Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation, Final Combine preview segment of the Drift Time Podcast. Be talking draft all week though, with you guys and past Dolphins drafts, current Dolphins previewing the offseason. Trust me, this week of podcast is gonna be one

you're gonna want to dive into. Let's go ahead and dive into the cornerback position here, an area that could be a need for the Miami Dolphins. Again, it depends on what happens coming up in the next month or so and what happens to Byron Jones's tenure here in Miami. I'm curiously what happens with that number twelve. Is Devin Witherspoon from Illinois as good as it gets. He's a tone setting tackler off the edge with island coverage skills. I think he goes top ten, especially after he destroys

Indie this week. Number fourteen. Christian Gonzalez from Oregon talked about him a lot on the Friday College three Packs. I would do just You're hard pressed to find a smarter cornerback in the draft than him. He's got an excellent trigger, working on a zone and coming up and playing in the short areas, which you have to do. I think in this defense you see him one on one, he takes chances because he has the recoverability that stems

from really impressive athletic ability. He's gonna fly and he goes six foot two, two hundred pounds at the top fifteen pick all day Long twenty five on the PFF Big Boards, Camp Smith from South Carolina. All three of these top guys are just football players, but unlike the first two, Smith isn't quite the athlete. Although he's a lock to go in round one, He's not going to have gaudy workout numbers, but man, his tape is really good out of the Dolphins range for sure. So is

Joey Porter. Junior number twenty six overall from Penn State. He might be my top corner. He's right there with Witherspoon for me. I'm just curious see what his wingspan is, because when you watch him in press, like his knuckles are dragging on the ground. He has the longest arms I've ever seen at the position, and it really allows him to disrupt routes. I think most years he's CB one, but this class is just so good. Number forty six

Keiley Ringo from Georgia. This might be the player who stands to gain the most ground of any player, not just at cornerback, but the entire draft and athletic marvel six ft two, two hundred and fifteen pound player who can roll baby. He has a penchant for playmaking, but there's some boomer bust at his game. Among the top ten corners on PFF's top big Board, he allowed the most deep receptions by a significant margin. He's very reactive,

so he'll take chances. But I think more seasoning, more coaching and learning some technique could wind up being the best corner in the entire class. He has that kind of upside. Do not be surprised if you see him check in the four three's Number forty eight Emmanuel Forbes from Mississippi State. Nobody attacks the football better than Forbes in this entire class. He's picked off fourteen balls and broke up seventeen more during his three years in college.

Got better every year. Exceptional eyes and recognition. Take none of those traits. Those are very important traits in this defense. Twitchy as hell kind of has some Bobby McCain to him when Bobby was at Memphis. Just twitchy ballhawk, played with a lot of fire. Could be a Day one slot guy if he asked me. And three cone is usually a big time for that position. So watch that for Emmanuel Forbes. Number sixty two. Garrett Williams from Syracuse.

The prototypical press man corner. I don't think we'll see him work out because he had an ACL injury late in the year, and also those physical press corners, it's not really what we do anymore. I think we'll go more for speed, twitchiness, and playmaking a building in the back end. Number seventy. Deonte Banks from MARYLM. If you need a press zone corner, which Miami could use those

this is your guy. Mirror match skills for days. Another great instinctual player technically sound so again on this theme, if he times, he could drastically improve his stock with a career full of great tape. Six foot two, two hundred and five pounds, he's smooth as hell, so fluid. I think you'll see a great three cone time from him. Speaking of great three cone times, Trevius Hodges Tomlinson from TCU is being stamped with a my guy stamp. This

is an interesting name, you know. Under Gary Patterson at TCU, they had long been known for their defense and that defense that's built around their zone match principles. And nobody exhibited that better than and the playmaking skills than Trevius Hodges Thomlinson. Plus, he's uber fluid, oily hips as they

would say. I think he needs the skills to clock good three cone time, to play in the slot, short shuttle and and ten split, to be able to handle all these great wide receivers, especially the two we've got here, and I think that THHT does all that. I think seventy six is way too low for him. One of my guys number eighty six, Tyreek Stevenson from Miami. What a great week he had at the Senior Bowl. I think that's about all about how you compete, and he

showed that he could run with anybody down there. A big week for him testing wise, because you paired that tape with that temperament with good athletic testing. He's another guy that I think could rise up the board. This corner class is awesome if he posts good times. That eighty six is gonna rock it way up there, six foot, two hundred and fifteen pounds when he plays like it. But his recovery spitt the Senior Bowl in one on ones makes me think you might see him in the

four fours. So again, this is a position that got kind of off the rails for Miami in twenty twenty two. Just too many injuries. Never had our counterpart for X all year. You lost a need him who would become a super dependable slot guy, and the guy who I would argue you had the most up I had to potentially fill in for Byron out Wide was also lost in training camp and Troll Williams. But we also got the emergence of Katerkohu in the slot. What a great year he had. I project him to be a long

time starter for us here. The free agent market doesn't have as many names as other positions, but I think this is one of the deepest corner drafts we've had in a while. This list doesn't even include Julius Branch from k State, who I think is a hell of a player. Could be a good group from Miami to choose from in the second and third round. A few have really caught my eye in this group. Let's go ahead and finish up with the safeties. Number ten is

Brian Branch from Alabama long gone. You will not find a better striker in this class, far and away safety one, but you know what else. He played a lot in the slot, kind of like Minka Fitzpatrick at BAM with that star rule. Branch plays the run from that position. Like Tarn Johnson and Buffalo. He comes from distance from depth with a lot of explosiveness, and the finishes. The way or the way that he finishes his hits is

what you want a football player. He's my pick to lead the way among that group and the Vert and Broad Vert and Broad Travis get through it. Number thirty Antonio Johnson from Texas A and M. Speaking of coming from depth, Johnson plays downhill like that. What is the tradition they do over in the UK or they chase blocks of cheese down the mountain and all fall and hurt themselves. He can scoot man like branch. He comes

down and covers the slot. He's six foot three. If he can time will on the shuttle and three cone, he's a first round pick all day. I really like Number forty Jammie Robinson from Florida State, another one of my guys. Smooth as hell. He's gonna test super well. That all rhymes sound tackler, which is a theme this year from this group, and you see his shiftiness both on tackling in space but also in coverage. He can

do it all. Really really a fun player. Plus he's played almost three hundred snaps or three hundred three thousand snaps in his career, so what you see is kind of what you get. That's a very productive player. Number forty two is Eli Ricks from Alabama. He plays some corner there, but you can see these dbs really transition to bull spots, especially with the length that he plays with and the physicality. He played a lot of press corner,

but his long speed was not great. But he's listed here because law of folks think he will change positions because if he doesn't run you know, four five or better, he's probably not gonna play corner. So big forty for Eli Rix, depending on where he plays. Number fifty three is J. L. Skinner from Boise State. Finally, a different type of player. Think Kaiser White, that dimebacker type two hundred and twenty pounds rocked up, but he moves really well.

Looks like a tight end eracer slash run supporter at the next stage for me, maybe what Eric Rowe kind of became late in his career. He always performed well against bigger bodied tight ends and slots, and if he runs like I think he can, he's easily a high round two pick. I talked earlier about Illinois numbers sixties. Sydney Brown, the safety from Illinois. He's awesome. Coverage skills at safety are such a boon, and this dude has him.

The Internet tells me he got out to twenty two miles per hour on GPS readings at practice in Illinois, and the tape can kind of confirm that because he can fly. There were not very many safeties at the Senior Bowl who lined up and press coverage and stayed in phase with receivers on takeoff routes. But he did that. He'll have a big workout Indianapolis, if you ask me.

Number eighty one's Jordan Battle from Alabama started as a true freshman, which if you can do that Alabama, you're a pretty good player and trusted and just never relinquish the job. He's not the smooth mover some of these other guys are, but he arrives with brute force, and I think you can blitz him. You can factor him into your runfit, and you can play him the hook zones and the curl flat zones and coverage. Plus you draft this guy, you've got a Day one special team's

ace which should not be overlooked. Combine not going to be where his skills shine the brightest. That's his tape. Number eighty three's Gay Year Brown from Penn State, big time playmaker, built like a house, loves to hit. I think he's faster than he is quick in short spaces, so I would expect a really good forty time. But watching those three Conor shuttle times to see how much he has in the cod bag, as it were. And Number ninety nine's Jalen Jones from Texas A and M

another potential position convert. He's a long, tall, physical press corner there at A and M. He's kind of like Jayyear Brown in the sense I think he'll fly in the forty, but I'm more curious to see how he works in the three cone and shuttle the stuff that tests your fluidity, which put him back at the safety position. I think you have to feel good about Miami's top two players here with Holland and Brandon Jones. Eric Rose

a free agent. There's some intriguing free agents have to hit the market, like a Von Bell, like a Jesse Bates, like a Jordan Poyer, plenty of options in that category. You have to be smart and instinctive to play this position under coach Fangio, he disguises so well and that's why I love what Javan and Brandon offer in this defense. But it's also traditionally rolled with pretty frequent workloads from the third safety, both in big nickel and subpackage on

passing down. So if Eric Row is not resigned, you kind of have a need there. Fene. That's it. That's the combined preview. The next time you guys, hear from me, will be coming to you from Indianapolis. We have a fun week of shows planned for you all out there. Also on the YouTube channel, we're going to tape it all as well, so you have a video element. Trust me, I'm pushing for more video here on the podcast and in the entire content world, so we're trying to get
